Monti Iblei
The Hyblaean plateau, known for its deep quarries carved by the dragging action of the waters flowing in the harmonious limestone, still retains the signs of a balanced relationship between man and nature. Maybe you don't know that one of the activities that historically characterized this land was that of the collection, conservation and marketing of snow!
Do you think it's strange?
In fact, in this place you can see the neviere, caves or cellars where in the past, in winter, snow was collected to be used in the hot season for cooling food and drinks. Have a good walk!
